Wasn’t sure about visiting here and on reading the reviews and seeing the ratings, which were evenly spread over the whole range, from terrible to excellent, it didn’t make the decision any easier. We were going to Amalfi for the day anyway, via the ferry from Salerno and the Emerald Grotto was only a 15 minute bus trip from Amalfi....

Don't waste your time or money and skip this useless "attraction". The first thing the "captain" says is don't forget to tip your captain even after giving them 5 euros each for 5 minutes. Nothing of interest here

Ok you won't pay much, but you will lose your time. There is strictly just one cave room to visit, on a small boat, and that room is couple of meters wide.
The colour of the water is indeed emerald, and there is little baby Jesus artificial to see, but really, just go somewhere else for your time on the...

It is really a great value for your ten Euros, but don't build up anyone's expectations for the grotto itself. Interesting, but easy to skip. However, the boat ride over and back for 10 E is a great value, making tghe whole trip well worthwhile. Especially if you want to take pictures of the city of Amalfi and the coastline,...

I read where some people actually visited the grotto on foot. That might have been nice but then we would have missed the other interesting sites on the coast as viewed from a boat. However, this was impressive from the water and you could get an idea of the scale when the area is viewed in its entirety from afar....

We were on the Amalfi coast on a rainy day. Not so hot. But we took a boat from Positano to Amalfi (under cover) and had great views without 500 tight turns on the road. We saw this cave and it is really impressive from the water.

We took a boat from Amalfi to the grotto. We were unable to enter the Azzura Grotto in Capri as the waters were too rough so this is a good option to see a grotto if you happen to be on the coast when the waters are rough. Smeraldo is actually entered by foot so no worries about the waters....
